The notes on the Funeral Oration concern its opening. They class the proem as one drawn from an assumption, since goodwill towards those who served the city is taken as agreed, observe that its general statements are there to win credit for the speaker who praises, and take "those who have spoken here before" as meaning Lysias, who, the scholiast says, had written a funeral speech of his own.

ΕΠΙΤΑΦΙΟΣ
ἐπειδὴ τοὺς τὸ προοίμιον ἐξ ὑπολήψεως, ὁμολογουμένης τῆς εὐνοίας ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἀπολογουμένου, ὑπὲρ τῶν δημοσίᾳ τὴν πόλιν εὐεργετησάντων.
ὧν οὕτως ἕκαστον κοινοὶ καὶ καθολικοὶ λόγοι εἰς πίστωσιν ἐλήφθησαν τοῦ ἐγκωμιάζοντος.
πρότερον τὸν Λυσίαν λέγει. αὐτὸς γὰρ ἐπιτάφιον εἰς αὐτοὺς ἐποίησεν.
